In my opinion, crypto-currency is purely speculation/gambling at this point in time. Coins have no intrinsic value, essentially no fiat value and there isn't enough critical mass or regulation to ensure that operators (those creating the coins) are on the up-and-up.
Couldn't agree more. That's why I sold half my Bitcoin (which I bought at $300 per BTC a few years ago, and, until recently, had forgotten that I even owned them) when I saw the current ridiculous prices. The other half I'll keep for speculation and for shopping at Overstock
I think the Blockchain technology itself has a bright future, but I'm not so sure about the future of Bitcoin and Ethereum. I read somewhere recently (I think it was a Tweet) that Bitcoin and Ethereum are like Betamax and VHS - one of them will win, but BOTH will eventually become obsolete.
